SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires python-docx.

What problem does it solve? Drafted patent claims and specifications must be reformatted to meet the distinct structural and stylistic rules of each patent office (CNIPA, USPTO, EPO), which is tedious and error-prone when done manually. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-Jurisdiction Compilation: Generates filing-ready documents for CN (CNIPA), US (USPTO), and EP (EPO) from a single set of drafted claims and specification sections. - Jurisdiction-Specific Rules: Applies CNIPA section ordering and Chinese claim phrasing, USPTO antecedent-basis conventions and ADS skeletons, and EPO two-part claim form with "characterised in that". - Consistency Verification: Cross-checks claim numbering, reference numerals, abstract word limits, and language correctness across all generated formats. - Use Case: After drafting claims and specification sections for an invention, run this Skill with jurisdiction "ALL" to produce CN, US, and EP filing packages plus an output summary in one pass. ## Quick Start Compile the patent in the patent directory into all three jurisdiction formats (CN, US, and EP) as markdown files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a patent application into CNIPA, USPTO, and EPO formats?

Provide the drafted claims and specification sections, then specify the target jurisdiction (CN, US, EP, or ALL). The Skill generates claims, description, and abstract files per office, applying each jurisdiction's section ordering and claim phrasing rules.

What is the EPO two-part claim form and how is it applied?

The two-part form per Rule 43(1) EPC splits an independent claim into known features and inventive features joined by "characterised in that". The Skill verifies every independent claim in the EP output contains this phrase.

Can the patent documents be generated as Word docx files?

Yes, setting OUTPUT_FORMAT to docx produces Word documents using python-docx with CNIPA-appropriate fonts and margins. If python-docx is unavailable, the Skill falls back to markdown output.

Does reformatting change the content of my patent claims?

No, the Skill only reformats existing content and never modifies claim substance. Technical content stays identical across jurisdictions; only structure, phrasing conventions, and language differ.

What are the abstract word limits for each patent office?

CN abstracts are limited to 300 Chinese characters, US abstracts to 150 words or 2500 characters, and EP abstracts to roughly 150 words. The Skill verifies these limits during generation.
